How to make a Cereal Box Junk Journal

[@swacartclub549]

Every time I finish a Ceri Griffiths video I smile. One of the most important parts of this one is mistakes happen just go around them to go forward

[@CeriGriffiths]

Lol. Thank you

[@lindaroberts2282]

Such a great beginning to the "world of journal making"! Those of us "newbies" really appreciate the in depth teachings.😊

[@CeriGriffiths]

I’ll try my best to make the journey easy.

[@deborahryder5364]

Thanks Ceri! I always find you to be an excellent and thorough teacher.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Deborah

[@teresacobb1760]

Thanks for this video! So wonderful to finally fall upon you! Great tutorial! Thank you. Junk journalling is so therapeutic for easing my anxiety and depression. Thanks for mentioning that. It brings me great satisfaction during the tough times! Take care! Cheers from Montreal! ❤

[@solnarvaez8667]

l love it very pretty thank you for sharing.

[@karver3440]

I came back to this video as I plan to make journal out of a cereal box. Thank you for this tutorial☺

[@CeriGriffiths]

You are so welcome!

[@tjpapercreations]

Wow, this video was wonderful! I just love your teaching style! You tell us everything we need to know without doing a lot of rambling. I absolutely adore the fact that I learn something new every time I watch you. If this video is an indication of what's to come in this series, I can hardly wait! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and time with us!

[@CeriGriffiths]

You’re welcome.

[@nancystrebel3339]

Thank you for sharing, you did such a nice job explaining everything. I looked at a lot of videos, I really enjoyed watching yours. I shared it to my folders ❤

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you so much!

[@MsMyriada]

I like the easy way of bookbinding!! Thats so good explained and will give a lot of joy 😊

[@CeriGriffiths]

Glad it was helpful!

[@stefanie006]

Thank you for taking this journal step-by-step to full completion. I am very new to all things creative, so I am very grateful for your calm presence and mindful explanations!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Wonderful Stefanie

[@maryblackhursthill6249]

Thank you so much, Ceri. I have only recently found you, and I am so grateful; you make journaling and journal-making accessible. Somehow, you bring a logic and structure to the process. I have always been mystified by it before, but now I am inspired. This morning, I watched your video on why you journal, and so much of what you said resonates with me. Enforced retirement through ill-health means I have time to reflect and time to create. I shall be making and writing two lots of journals: a current one and an historical one. So, thank you again. I shall be working my way through this playlist of journaling for beginners! 😁

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Mary

[@juliemonroe105]

Hi Ceri, having a look tonight through your videos. This was great. I didn't know you are doing a journal each month of 2022. I haven't seen any journal videos that I recall but so excited to see them.

[@CeriGriffiths]

I think I’ve done one a month except for September, but life just got in the way. Glad you liked this.

[@alicecabral8051]

Great place to start for a beginner…a simple one signature journal with no sewing. Thank you for understanding the hesitation a newbie might have to get started on multiple signatures and all the bells and whistles that one can get carried away with in making a journal. I have already watched a couple of your embellishment/ephemera videos and it’s good to know this is a channel that can help with the entire process but in several stages. I’m a fan

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Alice and welcome.

[@Melinda-S]

I never thought of using a cereal box to make this type of cover. For some reason I always thought of only using it to make a 3 piece cover. Sometimes it's easy to overlook the simpler idea. Thank you!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Yup it works and the collage strengthens it.

[@Indyanna57]

My first Ceri video. I am just starting junk journal creating. I am excited to go through all of your tutorials. What a blessing you are 🙂

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you so much and welcome to my channel.

[@dorothybentley3808]

Ceri I loved this video you explained it so well.you I think are a great teacher on how to make a junk journal keep them coming

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you, there’ll be monthly videos this year on journal building.

[@sallysmith2937]

As I peruse all your videos, you have never failed to teach a little snippet of new information, Ceri. I absolutely enjoy Gayle Agostinelli, also...... her laughter makes me smile. So grateful for you today as I pray for the world, especially Europe. You cheered me up, Ceri. 🤗🦋 give Biscuit a hug from me🐾🐾🐾🐾

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you I’m trying to convince Biscuit to appear in a video as I’ve promised my subscribers but I think he’s a bit camera shy.

[@janetmcdonald570]

I am new, and thrilled I found this and you! What wonderful instructions and journal, tysm. Really appreciate this and love it!!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Janet and welcome to my channel.

[@patriciathompson5125]

Thanks for all the things you are teaching.I have learned more in the last few weeks watching you. Thanks for all the info and all the hard work.

Thank you as I learn I’ll share anything new and interesting.....or even clever.

[@arlenebrearley2395]

Hopefully the new year is starting well for you. It will be fun to see what you have planed for us. Blessing to you. I'm doing a bit better after my procedures. Now to build up my strength. Should be a better year for me and my family. All the best, Arlene

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Arlene, I hope you continue to improve and we all have a great 2022

[@SilverGypsyWeed]

Lovey! This is where I will start so I don’t get overwhelmed on first project!

I love how NOT junky it looks. love it!!!!! you're brilliant, I so enjoy watching your videos.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Tonya.

[@gailbreen279]

Thank you so much! I’ve watched a bunch of videos and collected way too much stuff to start but didn’t know where to begin. A bit overwhelmed. This gave me a very simple journal to do.

[@StellasScrappyCrafts]

I make journals using the actual covers of cereal boxes. I also cut down the coca cola cartons and turn them into covers. They look good.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Stella I’m there with you, good cardboard is good cardboard no matter what it starts out looking like it makes great covers.

[@debralewis-potts7148]

Love your videos. I find your approach to crafting fresh.

Hi Ceri. I love this series. I have not made a junk journal yet but after watching this, I feel confident I could do it. I have everything I need for supplies and now I have the steps to do one. THANK YOU!!

Welcome, if you’re new to journalling I’d advise you also subscribe to Gayle Agostinelli on KZbin………lots of videos with ideas and techniques for the beginner.

[@nameissturdy1390]

You’re such a sweet and patient teacher. I can’t imagine how difficult it must be to film with OCD, I commend you for doing it and uploading it for us! Thank you Ceri!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you and it’s helping me develop as an artist being so public about my processes. The positive comments combat my negative thoughts.

[@heatherparry3159]

Very easy to follow instructions and lots of great ideas. Thanks so much!

[@bethwest594]

Ceri - I just wanted to thank you for all of your thoughtful, educational videos! I have learned more from watching your videos over this past week than I have learned from anyone else, and I, along with a number of others I'm sure, appreciate you.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Beth, I love to share skills and support where I can.

[@conniec4629]

Such a basic video that nicely covers all that is necessary to begin! Great job Ceri!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thanks so much!

Always interesting to see different techniques. There's always something new, and always a thing or two to learn. Thank you for making this series! 😊

I enjoyed watching this very much. I've been playing with junk journals for about 2 years. But my great fear is the cover! This team's very straightforward and I do have a cereal box! Wish me luck thank you for your well done video! From, n. calif

So helpful…reminders of the steps needed!

You’re welcome

[@lindafossler4845]

So refreshing to see a journal made with materials that are free for the effort of looking around the house. Many people avoid the craft because they can't afford the special papers and tools. I also appreciate your clear and easy instructions and the final product is beautiful.

Thank you Linda.

Great introductory video Ceri! I think this will be a wonderful series of tutorials. Looking forward to watching more in 2022!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Laura.

[@jennifershaw4756]

I am so excited about this series! I'm new to this so it's wonderful to have a beginners series. I quit scrapbooking about 5 years ago after a 20 year go of it. I did give away 99% of my supplies including tools. But I'm happy to take a more frugal approach this time around and use what I have on hand. Definitely going for a more organic look. Just wish I still had my score board, poking tool, distress ink and my sewing machine! LOL Oh well! Thank you so much for these wonderful tutorials! I very much appreciate them! :) Looking forward to the next one!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Jennifer I’m filming the next one today so you’ll have it by the end of the month, good luck.

[@leehicks2182]

Ceri, thank you for you wonderful tutorial, l to have suffed with truma very simular to the dear viewer you mentioned, my husband to sugested l write my fears, nightmares ect down on paper and burn them not long after my asult, l will say its a good way to banish your demons. But your idea of putting them in a journal is a fantastic idea, not just bland paper putting your thoughts on, using a journal takes the focus off all thing bad going through your mind as you have a beautiful journal as the main focal point and not the contents, l have watched hundreds of tutorials for beginers although they either go to fast with less explanation for us beginers, or like to talk about all things but journals, so l thank you from the bottom of my heart for such a beginner friendly explanation how to make them, l will put elastic in mine as l dont like the idea of throwing the beautiful cover out just the signature, thank you again, l dont often fine happyness these days although you made my day and certainly put a smile on my face as my mind is racing with wonderful thoughts on how to decorate my cover, your a champ, keep up the good work, especially for us beginers, Lee ( Australia )

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Lee, turning something ugly like bad memories into something beautiful like your personal art is a great way of cleansing yourself and moving on.

Oh my gosh, I came across you quite by accident and LOVE YOU! I'm a Brit living in the USA and love watching English crafters as it makes me feel closer to England hearing the accents and listening to you, I feel like we are old friends getting together for a natter and a cup of tea. I'm not new to paper crafting but I am to junk journals. They always seem daunting to make but your vidoes have inspired me to actually try making one! You have a new life long fan!! xoxo

Hello! I watched some of your cake decoration videos as well your crafting videos and you are a superb instructor with amazing talent. I have no interest in cake decorating, but after watching you explain/instruct… I want to decorate a cake 😊. You shouldn’t keep apologizing for the little noises when explaining what you are doing, it’s nothing if we can learn from you (and we also have volume control on our devices 😃). It is a privilege to learn from you ❤️❤️. Thank you for sharing your talents.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Joyce, I know I apologise too much but I think it comes from watching other KZbin’s where they crash and bang around and hearing that disrupts the flow of the video......I’ll try to apologise less in the future.

This is amazing, you did great on your turorial of this junk journal, I love how you put the pages together or should I say signatures. I have been saving cereal boxes fo some time now and I'll have to get going on making some for myself and friends, I've also saved some other boxes like butter, cookies/biscuits just different sizes, I have made some a few years ago, small mini binder kind but sewn in the signatures, alot of fun!
